May 21, 2009 - National Latino Alliance for the Elimination of Domestic Violence (Alianza) would like to extend its deepest sympathy to the friends and families of Ty Toribio. We have all been touched by this murder and we acknowledge that the pain of this event is resonating for all Albuquerque communities. Alianza would also like to remind local, state and national communities that this tragedy might have been avoided if the victim’s mother had accessed appropriate services. We need to ask ourselves where were we when she and baby Ty needed the help.
